Subject: Clearing up the mystery
I am the engineer who mixed this down for someone close to Warren. I actually still have the master DA-88 multi-track tapes in my possession. I put the filler on the end as a personal signature that I am the source. I am not the one who recorded the show but I do know who did. I can verify that the source was a stage split to the recording room. I have no idea how it got posted here or by whom. Hope that helps.

Subject: Now THAT'S a field recording!
Possibly the best soundboard recording done of Warren. Glad to have Dross' description of how it was done and I can't thank him enough for talking the R.E. into grabbing it. I'll just assume Warren wouldn't have minded had he found out. Honestly, I'll bet he would have asked for a copy himself.

...Heck of a job, guys. Nice crisp recording. Great set list too! Warren was "on" this night.

Subject: Here's how it happened
At the time of this show I was on the sound crew of the 'Bird and mixed the stage monitors. The show was recorded multitrack from the live radio split (though there was no broadcast), through a Yamaha O2R onto Tascam DA-88's. The 'Bird's recording engineer happened to be hanging out that night so I asked him to record the show on the sly- I don't beleive Warren knew. I'm not sure who ended up mixing the show but I'm really glad that it's been posted. The last live track is Excitable Boy so I'm pretty sure whoever did the mix put that ...Denver when you're... bit on there.

Warren was amazing to work with (I was nervous- the contract rider asked for a monitor engineer who wouldn't cry!) and, to this day, this is one of the pinnacle gigs of my career.

And not just any old geezer with a b flat alto. Doctor Babyhead, in the flesh.

has to be a soundboard. it's too damned good to be otherwise. being a solo show with occaisional accompaniment, i just can't see that last song all of the sudden going into a full band. but, it's a nice inclusion anyway. no complaints. i will enjoy til i sleep when i'm dead.
recording 5 stars
performance 5 stars
